Restaurant Review - Maison Des Desserts, Hauz Khaas Village, New Delhi

Le Maison Des Desserts est tres bon patisserie.
Just had to read a little bit of french to describe what i felt which translated to english means "The House of Desserts is a very good bakery".

That's true of this place. A small cafe housed in one corner of the food hub that is Hauz Khaas Village.
The seating here is very limited and so is the menu. Revolving around desserts primarily, they also serve hot beverages and cafe food like sandwiches, pasta, salads and an all day breakfast menu.

We entered after a heavy meal and could only sample some of their desserts, so we looked at the display and the pavlova caught our eye first. It looked really inviting so we gave it a try.
They describe it as a light meringue based dessert with a crisp base and topped with whipped cream and seasonal fruits.
Oh, it was all that and more. In fact it can simply be described in one word - "Stunning".


The base was so light and airy, very biscuity crispness to it. And the cream was superb, topped with chocolate shavings and mangoes, it went down in a jiffy.

Everything else after this seemed menial, we had new york cheesecake which was also good, although less spectacularly so. It was smooth and creamy and not overly sweet.
The cappucino cake was a bit dry and ordinary for our liking.

And we also had a cafe latte which was outright bad unfortunately. So it would be better to stick to the desserts i guess.
They also give cakes for special ocassions, so plan a pavlova for your special one i'd say.
It's not very heavy on the wallet..

Rating - 4/5
